How do you upload Open Rails or MSTS Activities to YouTube?

[motormaster532]

I have noticed that several people have been able to post their Activities to YouTube. I feel ashamed and embarrassed to have to ask this,but believe it or not I actually have no idea!!! I want to do this as I have a great many Custom Activities that I have created that I would like viewed and critiqued. Any help is,as ALWAYS,GREATLY appreciated. Brian

I’ve been using Nvidia GeForce Experience to capture my gameplays. I really enjoy it as records in HD and doesn’t affect FPS quality. It will produce a video file that you can then use to upload to YouTube.

I also give OBS a thumbs up.

It's also very easy to use and to adjust the settings.

In the past I've used Bandicam and Fraps but have dropped them in favour of GeForce Experience.

I'm using Fraps now. May I know what the advantages of GeForce Experience over Fraps are?

I just prefer the interface and what seems to be a simpler process.

Although I record in 1440HD I don't upload raw video; I edit it first (Videopad).

Used both Fraps and Bandicam...found both good...depends on your personal work/play style.

Unless you are playing lots of games and like the GeForce experience I have not found any advantages to using it....some folks like the automatic updating of the drivers...but I've found the whole "GeForce Experience" to be the usual intrusive experience offered by big corp. Manual updating Nvidia drivers is easily accomplished.

Won't anything upload to the TOOB if you have an account ( and conform to the uploading protocols )?

I use GeForce as well. It came free with the card drivers, no advertising watermarks, is written by the same company that engineered the card and drivers so they have inside knowledge on how to capture most efficiency. I use a throw-way email that's needed to log in, and just use the basic recording elements, I don't bother with any driver updating via GeForce. Usually the driver updating and fine tuning and custom settings is for the other 'Duty' type games where the latest drivers matter; Open Rails does not fall into that class of game where the latest drivers are that important. I had to remap the one keyboard command to start and stop recording so it didn't conflict with open rails key commands. And that is the only GeForce key I use. Ordinarily, GeForce is usually never loaded, and when I need to record, just load it up, it auto-logs in, and I minimize it. After that the video capture key works.

It's only intrusive if you want it to be and even then no more "intrusive" as having an anti-virus program running in the background 24/7. Far less, in fact (see geepster's post).

You can also use the built in Microsoft Game Bar to record video clips, albeit you then need to edit these down to a manageable file size and format that YT will accept.

For this you can use the Video Editor that comes with the Photos app that's included with Windows 10.

Brian, have you loaded any of your activities into the file library?

Brian, have you loaded any of your activities into the file library?

Unfortunately,the answer is no. I considered it and then thought better of it as it is ALL payware Routes,Trains and everything. I figured that it would not be a popular project due to the expense as people would need just about everything from MLT,TrainSimulations,Streamlines,3DT,BLW and a lot more! It just wouldn't be practical for people. Brian

I left out the most compelling reason! Everything that I have I have made into a{mostly}seamless railroad of about 6000 miles{I kid you not!} In order to do this I have had to fictionalize EVERYTHING. Most of my Activities are what you might call "Rolling Activities" as they transverse Routes in succession,simulating a real trip. If you do not have what and how I have set my Routes for,it would not make sense. Also,Locomotives and Rolling Stock run over Routes that have NO bearing on what would be occurring in the real world so I dont think what I do would be popular. Thanks' for the question and Take Care. Brian
